One reason might be that PSS systems have a catastrophic failure mode
that can result in flooding when the graphite shatters.
I second the Buck Algonquin recommendation. I used conventional packing
with teflon grease.

Subject: Stus-List Stuffing Box
Folks my 1990 34+ has the PSS shaft seal system. I want to swap it out
for a traditional stuffing box and am looking for advise on which
stuffing box manufacturers to look into. My prop shaft is 1 &1/8” which
may be a challenge finding a suitable match but hopefully not a big
deal.
Thank you
